Most people think that those described as "poor" in the United States are pretty well off by world standards. One study, however, found that twelve million Americans suffered from an acute hunger comparable to that found in poorer nations. In Philadelphia alone an investigator found "tens of thousands" of men, women, and children "desperate for food." Another study found that 50 percent of children from the poorest families grow up with impaired learning ability, while 5 percent are born mentally retarded because of prenatal malnourishment.
